Systems Engineer - Machine Learning
Job description
The Space Ground Systems Engineering team solves the mathematical, physical, and algorithmic problems at the core of next-generation missile defense and fire control systems. We tackle dynamic battle-management challenges: fusing real-time sensor streams into track data, optimizing weapon-target assignment under uncertainty, and feeding high-confidence fire-control schedules back to the warfighter.
We are looking for a Systems Engineer - Machine Learning to join our rapidly growing team in Huntsville, AL or Colorado Springs, CO. In this role, you will be responsible for bridging systems engineering, applied physics, and mathematical and machine learning to solve complex missile defense…
Job responsibilities
- Machine Learning: Research, develop, and deploy complex machine learning models such as generative ai, reinforcement learning, deep neural networks, physics based neural models.
- Algorithm Design and Development: Formulate and solve complex physics problems using mathematical techniques. Ex: Object detection, tracking, and discrimination.
- Sensor Fusion & Tracking: Work on the components of system architecture that ingest raw/processed sensor data, execute track fusion, and perform threat classification.
- Parametric & Sensitivity Analysis: Design, conduct, and defend rigorous trade studies, sensitivity analyses, and parametric evaluations to determine system boundaries and validate performance.
- Prototyping & Modeling: Rapidly translate mathematical equations into clean, functional code (Python / C++) to run non-customer-facing modeling, simulation, and algorithm verification.
- Mission Systems Architecture: Bridge the gap between low-level physics/threat intelligence inputs and high-level mission outputs.
Job requirements
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- Experience: 5+ years of relevant engineering experience
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field.
- Core Foundation: Strong mastery of applied mathematics, physics, and programming .
- Algorithmic Programming: Proficiency in Python and/or C++, Pytorch (or TensorFlow), Coding GPU's, multi-agent reinforcement learning, mathematical modeling, experience implementing foundation models, and algorithm…
- Domain Knowledge: Exposure to missile defense concepts, radar/sensor processing, flight dynamics, TOM, threat intelligence, discrimination algorithms, sensor tracking algorithms, kill assessment, integrated algorithms…
- Security Clearance: Active U.S. Secret clearance required
- Top Secret / SCI eligible preferred.
